Description

1. Environment

  • Device: Pixel 6
  • OS: Android 12
  • APP: 0.8.3

2. Describe the feature request

I use Read You to follow github releases so I can download updated APKs as they become available from developers. One issue is that on the releases page, some builds are tagged as "pre-release" and not meant to be installed and there's currently no way to filter them out ex. https://github.com/nextcloud/android/releases (RSS Feed: https://github.com/nextcloud/android/releases.atom)

If you use the following URL instead https://github.com/nextcloud/android/releases/latest.atom it does a 302 redirect to the latest build not displaying anything that's "pre-release". I tested and Read You does not follow the 302. Is it possible to have it follow the redirect?

Trace the feed request and redirect handling, then verify that following the redirect produces the latest non-pre-release release without breaking normal feeds.
